Common Troubleshooting

I'm not a current AAPT member, but would like to join or renew and receive the discounted rate for a meeting registration immediately.

If you place an order for an AAPT membership and meeting registration in the same cart before completing your order, the member rate appropriate for your member type will be applied to the meeting registration. Follow these simple steps:

Click on Join Now (or Renew Now, if you've been a member in the past) under the Membership Status section of your profile.

Complete the joining/renewing process, but stop at the Checkout page and return to AAPT.org

Proceed with registering for the National Meeting you wish to register for via that meeting's registration page.

Once you get to the checkout, you should have the discounted registration rate as well as your membership available for completing the purchase.

If you have any trouble or would like help registering, please feel free to contact programs@aapt.org or 301-209-3340. For help with membership contact membership@aapt.org or 301-209-3333.
